Distortion
EAE: Model feT Preamp
I saw that DirtBox Layouts has done a layout for this from the schematic on PedalPCB – it’s one that I’ve been wondering about for a while after playing with the CODA FX Black Hole Doom Machine. I had an idea of what was happening, but I was slightly off in some parts around the transistors replicating the power … Read more
Electronic Audio Experiments Model Fet
I suppose it is time to release the beast… Scbematic is avaiable HERE.
Lovepedal Jubilee
Pretty close to Purple Plexi. Worth noting that the 47nF cap can be socketed for a much smaller value for less bass and tighter feel.
SOLA SOUND: Tone Bender MKII Professional, Black Fish Skin Hybrid, 0.15″ Vero Layout
This is a slightly different hybrid MKII than I have previously seen – this is a Sola Sound MKII built by D*A*M, referred to as the Black Fish Skin version by Macari’s Music. The PNP Silicon transistor is a PNP version of a BC109 / BC108. I couldn’t see the value of one resistor on the photos, so a safe … Read more
Bigger Muff
Per request. Based on Indigo Ranch Bigger Muff without the high voltage tube section. It is basically based on a Ram’s Head variant but with small filter caps and low gain transistors. I added a Mid switch for a bit more versitality.
Arion MDS-1 Distortion
The cheap plastic casings fools us but Arion did some really good sounding stompboxes in the 80s and 90s. Here is a quite simple distortion unit that is supposed to be a sleeper. Earlier versions had silicon diodes as hard clippers which was switched to red LEDs later on. So I included a diode switch. … Read more
Washburn A-D3 Stack in a Box
A J-FET amp emulator hailing back from the early 80s, quite ahead of its time. Trimpots are included to be able to bias the FETs and the 5,6k inline with the trimpots is reduced to 2,2k to be able to use a wider range of J FETs. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
